I'm from the other side of town Out of bounds To anybody who don't live around I never learned to share Or how to care I never had no teachings about being fair Depression is part of my mind The Sun never shine On the other side of town The need here is always for more There's nothing good in store On the other side of town It's hard to do right In this filthy night Just plain simple comfort Is completely out of sight My little sister She hungry for bread to eat My brother's hand-me-down shoes Is now showing his feet Ghetto blues showed on the news All is aware But what the hell do they care? You across the track Completely relaxed You take a warning fact Don't you never come back I'm from the other side of town Out of bounds To anybody who don't live around I never learned to share Or how to care I never had no teachings about being fair Depression is part of my mind The Sun never shine On the other side of town The need here is always for more There's nothing good in store On the other side of town Oh, baby It's hard to do right, you know On the other side of town This depression really got a hold on me Oh, baby, on the other side of town The other side of town Out of bounds
